An Ingenious Expedient.

The American Analyst gives the following ingenious plan for ex- tinguishing fire in a mine. The Calumet and Hecla copper mine in the upper peninsula of Michl- gan is the most extensive mine in the world. Several weeks ago tle timbers which support the pumps and man engines" which are very extensive, caught fire on the 1,600 foot level. The enhances 10 the mine were dramatically sealed, and it was thought the fire could be extinguished by steam, which was poured into the level in great quantities through a four inch iron pipe extending five hundred feet into the mine. Prof. Alex ander Agassiz, of Boston, presi- dent of the mining company, ar rived on the scene few days after the fire broke out. He con ceived the idea of flooding the mine with carbonic acid gas. Chemicals were procured and the gas was manufactured in great quantities and forced into the mine by Leavy pressure from the engines. The plan was entirely successful, and when the mine was opened few days later, nota trace of fire rem aimed. An engine was set to work pumping out the gas and another to forcing in fresh air, and 1t is expected that the air will be such as to permit work to be speedily resumed

The AnacOnda,

Nothing can be written con-
 corning the extensive operations of the Anaconda company that
 will give correct idea of their
 magnitude. A reporter of the Inter Mountain visited the thriv- ing little shelter city recently and was astonished at the scale on which the work IS being lad out. The upper smelter, with its twenty six furnaces and it's concentrating plant, treating from twelve to fourteen hundred tons of ore per day, is running full blast. At the lower works four hundred and fifty men are pushing the con- pletion of the work. The new building that is intended for con- centrator Is complete. Its concen- trating capacity will be as great as that of the old concentrator. h addition to this 1t will have three of the celebrated Ball stamps, whi Il are capable of concentrating 250 tons of ore each and every day. This will add at least 700 tons to the concentrating capacity of the plant. In the same build ing are now hung sixty stamps to be used in the reduction of silver ores. By the side of these stamps space has been left for the doub- ling of the capacity of this mill at any time desired. The sixty stamp mill is now complete and ready to be started at any time. The Hume which is to furnish the water power has also been con- pleted. The largest engine west of the Missouri river has arrived and is now being put into position in the power building.
 The question of what the com pany was going to do with all these concentrates has been solved by the beginning of excavations for a tremendous building, situ- ated in the rear and to the east of the new concentrator. When com plete this building will be $40 feet in width by $50 feetin length, and will have an l. $40 feet by l62 feet in length, joining on at the south side. This l. is to be completed this fall and the main building will be finished rext year, The Anaconda people never talk about their plans, but those who are acquainted with their style of smelling say that there will be room in this vast building for ffty-six furnaces. The foun- dation for the part to be com pleted this fall is now we'll ad vanced, and the massive. stone walls of the foundation are near ing completion.-Inter Mountain.

The memory will only be con- tent when there is that accuracy which gives absolute confidence. Suspicion of inaccuracy is the most vicious element in memory. It is more satisfactory not to re- call a thing than to recall 1t in such a way as not to know what we have I called whether the recollection is reliable, where the memory of fact shades into fancy. It requires the best mental activ- ity, the closest observation, the clearest thought, the sharpest discrimination, the cleanest classi- fication, to give knowledge that defniteness which is indispensable to reliability in memory aud ac- curacy in recollection.-Journal of Education.

GOinG to Waste.

this country no precautions are taken toward saving the fine par ticles of gold remaining in the tailings after they have passed over the plates and concentrators within the mills, and in other cases the methods in use are ex- tremely defective and only par italy accomplish the purpose they are designed to.
 Thus tens of thousands of dol lars are annually lost, being carried down toward the sea il the silt Much of the gold so wasted has failed to amalgamate because of its being coated with grease derived from various sources, such as accompanies the approximation of miners while at work, the handling of ore, candle grease dropped occasionally, food scattered by miners at meal time, and various other similar causes which are equally plain when un- derstood.
 It is said by an old and we'll read miner that in certain mines in Russia the employees are not permitted to carry food into the workings, neither are they per mitted to labor therein when it is known they are addicted to tobacco chewing, the reason given for such regulations being that unless they were enforced much gold would be lost through the ore be- ing rendered greasy.
 The Montana Company, Limit el, appear to fully understand thu importance of this subject. and as will be seen by reference to their last annual report, are doing much toward the preventing of such waste. Their plan will be read with interest by miners here, and there may be found in it some hints worthy of being made a note of by our mine owners and superin- tendents.
 1st, The pulp from the front mortar boxes flows over amalga- mated plates for the purpose of depriving 1t of the free gold it may contain.
 2d. The pulp from the amalga- mated plates passes over twenty Frue vanners, which collect vari- ous ores, more or less rich in the precious metals known as concen- trates.
 3d. The pulp deprived mostly of the free gold and concentrates now passes to the amalgamating pans, wheee 1t is worked hot in charges of about 2,O00 pounds each with the addition of a given weight of quicksilver, salt, sulph- ate of copper and sulphuric acid. In this operation most of the sill yer, with a limited quantity of gold, becomes amalgamated with the mercury.
 4th. From the pans tie charge goes to settlers in which the anal gam is collected. From the set tiers it is discharged into agitators, in which a small quantity of coarse sand, carrying mostly gold, is retained, together with some parts of amalgam which had escaped the settlers.
 9th. From the agitators the pulp, largely impoverished of its contents, passes secol d time over twenty Frue vanners, which secure small additional quantity of inferior concentrates.
 9th. The pulp from the end of 5he secord series of vanners, known as tailings, is deposited in Jams to undergo an oxidating | process, with a view of further treatment hereafter. - Nevada | Transcript.

Bill Wye in Verona.

Verona is noted for the Capit- ular library, as 1t is called. This Is said to be the largest collection of rejected manuscript in the world. I stood in with the libra rian and he gave me an opportu- nity to examine this wonderful store of literary work. I found a Virgil that was certainly over 1,600 years old. l also found a well-preserved copy of Beautiful Snow" I read it. It was very touching indeed. Experts said it was 1,700 years old, which is no doubt correct. I am no judge of the age of manuscript. Some can look at the teeth of literary pro duction and tell within two weeks how old 1t is, but I can't. You can also fool me on the age Uf wine. My rule used to be to observe how old I felt the next day and to fix that as the age of the wine, but this rule I find is not infallible. One day l found myself feeling the next day as though might be 13S years old, but on investigation we found that the wine was ex- tremely new, having been made at a drug store in Cheyenne the same day.-Ex.

NOTHING SMALL ABOUT 1T.

Stephenville Empire: Our limited
space this week prevents US from giving
a full account Of the meeting of the Texas
editors at Fort Worth the city where the
panther laid down only few years ago,
and where now it is said that more people
get on and off the trains than at Calves
ton, Houston, San An ouio and Dallas
combined. The editors had royal re-
ceptlon, and the keys of the city were
turned over to them for the time being.
There is nothing small about the Forts
hospitality. Invitations were sent in
from the telegraph and express com.
panies to use their lines for the free trans
portatjon of messages and packages
Many other invitations were sent in from
merchants, manufacturers, etc. The edi-
tors were driven in carriages over miles
and miles of paved streets to the various
points of interest. Her suburban streets
are very fine, her water supply tlrst-Class
and of the best quality. She claims the
best system of sewerage in the state, the
greatest number of railroads, and numer-
Gus artesian wells. We believe it is said
there are 100 Of them, which furnish
ceaseless flow of wete-. She has g Citi-
zenship which any city can be proud of.
Whenever q railroad is to be built her
great paper, THE GAZETTE, boOms it for
awhile, and then the people take hold and
another trade artery is added to the sys-
TEN which is daily adding to the Forts
commercial greatness. The editors ae-
cepted an invitation from B. b Paddock,
president of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, to go down to the end of the
track, and q royal trip they had over as
fine q country as can be found in Texas,
After resChing tie end Of the track Presi-
dent Paddock was called on for 6 speech.
Being a newspaper man ne was very mod
est, but finally he mounted huge dump
pile and delivered 8 short but humorous
address. We were in sight of Granbury,
but could not visit the little city on the
Baz1s on account Of Granbury's inability
to furnish transportation for 80 large 8
body of men, Several gentlemen made
speeches, and town was organized on
the spot, and christened Paddock. Mr..
Paddock says he's going to present every
editor on the excursion with corner lot
and make him directly interested in the
new town

AT HOME IN FoRr WORTH.

Alvord Budget: The verdict of all is
that we were at home in Fort Worth dur
ing the session.
Business and professional men left
their desks and devoted their entire time
to the occasion.
Fort Worth can point to her six score
artesian wells with pride. They furnish
a supply of the purest end softest water
in Texas.
The residences of Fort Worth are mod
els of architectural skill, and show the
citizens to be class who are there to
stay, and who are willing to invest money
in homes for future comfort and enjoy
ment
Among one of the many enterprises the
editors visited in Fort Worth is the
cracker factory of the Wright-Carter
Company. The products Of this concern
are rapidly crowding out eastern compe-
tition and forging ahead of all at mar
veloUs rate
On the evening of the oath the members
of the association went en- masse, by in
vitation, to visit the mammoth establish
ment Of J. II. Brown, the wholesale gro
Ger at the foot Of Main street, and thor
oughly examined the immense stock and
workings of that house, not neglectlng
the manufacturing department by any
mea1s, where candies, baking powders,
bIuipg and chewing gum is put up in i'm
mense quantities. After that we took
carriages and drove over the seven hills,
and viewed it's many manufacturing in
dustries, it's beautiful villas, magnificent
lawns and parks

ROYALTY WELCOMED.

Wills Point Chronicle: While the
press gang has ever been welcomed and
entertained satisfactorily by the people
at the different cities in which the asso-
cation has heretofore met, none, in our
opinion, have ever manifested that free
and unbounded liberslity that character
lied the people of Fort Worth. They
acted, moved, worked 6nd watched as if
the editors were their truly welcome
guests. The committees were of the best
and most influential citizens Of the place,
and they went at their work with cheer
fulness, and with no apparent feeling that
it WAS task to perform their duties.
The business men OF the city seemed
anxious to do all in their power to
make every one feel indeed wei
the part CT the editors that outwsrdly
they were welcome, but inwardly it vas
done as q sense of duty because OF the
invitation to the association to hold its
meeting in the city. No friend ever felt
more welcome in the private home Of
another friend, IS an invited guest, thsn
did the editors in Fort Worth. There
was no stint in the hospitality. The
very best accommodations were offered
and enjoyed. The local press was very
kind and contributed to the success of
the meeting. Fort Worth will long be
remembered by the "press boys" as the
city of genuine hospitality. She does
nothing by halves.whether building rail-
roads or manufactures, or entertaining
her guests, she is without peer.

THE PRESS CONVENTION.

Farmersville Times: The meeting Of
1870 newspaper men at Fort Worth on
May "a, was one one of the most pleas
ant in the history of their association.
The reception was SO genial and sincere,
so full of genuine hospitality and friend
ly feeling, that it warmed the heart of
every editor present.
The members of the press were driven
in splendid carriages over the proud and
beautiful city-over its finely paved and
macadamized streets, its magnificent ave-
nues, eighty feet wide and graveled until
they are as smooth as floor. The city
has spent over $3.50, 900 improving its
streets. The editors visited the great
wholesale grocery house of Joseph H.
Brown, grand structure Of brown stone,
capable of holding more goods than any
other house in the south. We also visit
ed Mr.. Browns candy, bakingi powder
and chewing gum factory, which alone is
an immense establishment. The sCribes
visited the cracker foctory, which is now
beginning to supply the entire state with
crackers, cakes, snaps and everything in
this line.
On Tuesday night the Fort Worth GA
ZETTE, assisted by the local press club
and young people of the city, gave their
visiting friends delightful mop at the
grand pavilion, near town, and the Texas
editors were never greeted by q more
brilliant assemblage than the one which
welcomed them that night. There are no
dudes in Fort Worth, but that city is rich
with manhood and grace, beauty and in
tellect. On Wednesday Captain B. B.
Paddock, president Of the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande Railway, treated his newspa-
per friends to gu excursion to the south
west. This road is nearly completed to
Granbuty, and passes through one of the
richest and most fertile regions Of the
globe. II is simply impossible to fore
tell the grand possibilities of Fort Worth,
with sucha country surrounding it, end
eleven iron highways running to every
point of the compass.

SWAMI BROS.' FAILURE.
Trust Deeds of all Their Property Filed.

CHEYENNE, Wy. t, June 6.--The
Swami Bros failure assumed new and
peculiar phase when it was learned
after u O'Clock Saturday night that in
stead of filing schedule of assets and
liabilities, the suspended firm filed trust
deeds of all their property to
Erasmus Negel of this city. Fri
day was the last of the twenty
days allowed by the Wyoming law
on bankruptcy to file with probate judge
a statement showing the itemized assets
and liabilities of the firm, and at a late
hour Friday night it was expected that
such statement would be filed. 1t is
held by a number of lawyers here that
this action of Swami Bros, places them
on the same footing with relation to their
creditors as they stood before assigning,
and acting on this advice suits in attach
ment have been commenced against A. II.
and Thos. Swami by several creditors.

the first day, and was much enjoyed.
Fort Worth will reap rich reward
